* The prefix Neo- (from v£os, new) is used in two distinct senses: (1) as a new 
designation for a preoccupied name (Neoauchenia, Neoprocavia), or a new type of 
animal ( Neofiber, Neotoma); and (2) as a descriptive designation for American animals 
or those found in the New World ( Neosciurus, Neotomys). The same prefix (but 
derived from v£co, to swim) is used in a few cases to indicate animals of aquatic 
habits (Neomys and probably Neosorex).
